I see what you mean and think they are paint prototypes, but to be honest I don't know, they might be different underneath as well, but are all identical mold.

I think it is odd that the colours are so different to what the Bio 300Tour would become. Maybe they are testing different finishes in any colour? As one has matt paint, one gloss paint and the other metallic paint.

I wondered that about paint testing too, it's not like they are even close to where it ended up.One looks a fair bit like 9i think) the 500 tour ended up?
I liked the 300 tour but felt it's weight balance wasn't quite what i wanted, never gave the max much of a chance but i liked it's look,

Oh, and the reason I particularly like this racket, is actually due to the racket mold. It is the same racket mold as the Dunlop Pro Stock mold used by Haas, Blake, Ferriera, Pioline and Gimelstob at various points in their career. Obviously their rackets had custom layups, grips etc.

Blake is STILL using this mold... just made by Donnay.

Someone said earlier that the Blue/White one was going to be the colour for the Bio200, but they decided on Blue/Black in the end.

I'm now determined to get my hands on a pair of those 300 tour's with the white and blue pj. It looks beautiful!

Cheers, I'm still hoping to find out why these were done like this. I've forgotten that I do know someone at Dunlop who will probably know the answer actually, so I will get in touch to find out, and report back here.

The White/Blue version actually looks better in hand than in the photos, it actually has a glossy finish which isn't showing up very well in the photos. The Black/White one has a nice matt paintjob, they look similar in the photos, but are actually completely different types of paint!

Have now got another Bio300Tour Prototype. I just tried to upload the photo but it doesn't work at the moment, image too large apparently, very annoying!

Anyway, it is mainly blue with some white and black, lovely matt paint, same pattern as the other 3, and has identical graphics and font as the black and white version, possibly the best looking of the lot. Also the photos don't show how great this racket looks in hand, and don't show the colours very well, in reality the blue is slightly darker.

Cheers, but in reality the racket actually looks much better. The photos are not very good, too small and the blue colour is wrong. The blue is slightly darker, with a very slight green tinge, it really does look amazing. The paintjob designs on these look superb!

Haha, yes this would be quite funny

All of these are very head heavy though, they are prototype samples it seems, so not really made to use. Although like the retail Bio300Tour, if you add silicon into the grip and some lead tape under the bumper, they would be great to use I should think!
